I am going to interview FB e7 positions, wondering
1. What’s the rubrics for cross functional, project walk through, and career growth? Is there specific thing Facebook is looking for?
2. What’s the main difference btw E7 and E8 at Facebook?
3. Any tips how I can prepare?

    Unlikely, unless you're an industry expert ie your on a standards committee setting industry direction or working on notable open source project such a Linux kernel sub domain maintainer/expert.

    E7 maybe if you're D level/fellow/principal at another FAANG company. You'd have to show that you've lead organizational level projects at other companies like launching a major publicly visible product or product suite, you being there person responsible for the technical direction and entire scope. This is incredibly hard, and if you have to ask you probably are going to have a tough time justifying the E7/e8 hire. It's probably better to come in at an e6 and grow into the higher level once you're here. I don't know what it's like at Google but e6+ at Facebook requires a lot of industry and company knowledge.I think it would be hard for most people to come in at an E7 and be successful within the first year.

    • What teams follow 10-6?

    • 7 yoe (>3y at FB). Started as 4. I’m E5 now, getting promoted to E6 next cycle (would have been promoted in july’s cycle but promos were frozen due to WFH).

      You want to avoid teams filled with new grads. They tend to not have a clue about what work is impactful and what’s not. Long hours are self imposed.

      Look for teams and leaders that are experienced, those know very well that this is a marathon, not a sprint.

    Google and FB leveling is pretty much on par. If you’re G L7 FB L7 shouldn’t be an issue. If you are L6 at G, you’ll struggle a lot. The gap between L6 and L7 is huge.

    Starting 5+ you really have to show deeper and measurable impact to get to the next level...

      So who decided you are ready? Your manager, your director, some random process, or your director?

      "You either meet the kpis and drive results or a big nada. Although you are not punished for failing but for promotions you would need those data points to help build up your case."

      This is also true for Google, you need demonstrated impact for promotions T5+.
